Jaecoo 5: Evoque rival due imminently priced from £24,505
The Range Rover Evoque-rivalling Jaecoo 5 will go on sale this summer, priced from £24,505. The 5 will become the second model in the Chery-owned brand's UK range following the popular 7, which has amassed 8399 sales so far this year. At launch, the 5 will be powered by a 145bhp 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Details on the EV variant will follow in the 'coming weeks'. Visually, the Jaecoo 5 is a shrunken version of the 7, with near-identical front and rear end designs, but with a shorter wheelbase and a more raked roofline. The entry-level 5 comes with a 13.2in vertical touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and all-round parking cameras. The 5 will be sold in two trim levels: Pure and Luxury. Entry-level equipment includes a six-speaker audio system, six-way adjustable seats, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. For £28,000, Luxury trim adds a panoramic roof, wireless phone charging, and heated and ventilated front seats.

Jaecoo 5: petrol-powered Evoque rival to arrive this year in UK
The Range Rover Evoque-rivalling Jaecoo 5 will go on sale this year - and it will arrive first with petrol power. Making its debut Goodwood Festival of Speed, the crossover is the second car in the Chery-owned Jaecoo's UK line-up, joining the larger Jaecoo 7, a car that has quickly gained popularity here after amassing almost 6000 sales since it went on sale at the start of the year. The Jaecoo 5 is based on the same T1X platform as its stablemate, as well as sibling brand Omoda's similarly named 5, 7, 9 and recently revealed 3 – the 3 being its most closely related cousin. Unusually, the Jaecoo 5 will not be launched first with an electric or electrified powertrain. Instead, it will be powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine. While exact technical details have yet to be confirmed, its state of tune is likely to match the same capacity unit in the Omoda 5: 187bhp, 203lb ft, and paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Like its siblings, an electric variant will follow soon after. It is expected to offer the same technicals as the Omoda E5, meaning 201bhp, 61kWh battery, and 257 miles of range. Visually, the Jaecoo 5 is a shrunken version of the 7, with near-identical front and rear end designs, but with a shorter wheelbase and a more raked roofline. Inside, however, the 5 receives a smaller infotainment screen (its exact size has not yet been disclosed) than the 7's 14.8in unit, and the larger car's 10.25in floating driver's display has been replaced by a screen housed within the dashboard. The 5 will be sold in two trim levels: Pure and Luxury. Entry-level equipment includes a six-speaker audio system, six-way adjustable seats, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Luxury trim adds a panoramic roof, wireless phone charging, and heated and ventilated front seats.

New Chinese car brands unveil models including cheaper version of Range Rover Evoque
New Chinese car brands Omoda and Jaecoo – part of China's Chery automotive group – have unveiled a new model each at the Shanghai Motor Show, just a year after their launch in the UK. Jaecoo, the more premium of the two brands, has unveiled the new Jaecoo 5 – a battery electric vehicle that will also be available as a petrol model. The Jaecoo 5 looks like a scaled down version of the Jaecoo 7, a car with a striking resemblance to the Range Rover Velar. So it's no surprise that the car looks very much like the Velar's smaller sibling, the Range Rover Evoque. While the look of the Jaecoo 5 might be like an Evoque, the price won't be – we'd expect it to be around the £35,000 mark. That puts it slightly above the price of the Omoda 5, with which the new Jaecoo shares its tech. That tech sharing means we can expect a 61kWh battery and a range of around 250 miles, making it competitive against some similarly priced rivals, although behind the likes of the new Skoda Elroq and newly crowned World Car of the Year, the Kia EV3. As with the Omoda 5, the Jaecoo 5 is also expected to be available with a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a hybrid also possible in due course. Our guess is that the petrol Jaecoo will cost around £27,450 – putting it between the Omoda 5 petrol and cheapest Jaecoo 7 model. Although the styling of the Jaecoo 5 is very similar to the Jaecoo 7, the front end is slightly more aerodynamic making it look even more like a Range Rover. Inside, the look is very generic with a portrait-orientated touchscreen sat above twin wireless charging pads on the centre console. A second digital display sits in front of the driver. Following a very similar theme, the new Omoda 7 is bigger than the Omoda 5 and shares its tech with the Jaecoo 7. That means a plug-in hybrid system that Omoda calls intelligent super-hybrid technology with a small battery and 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine for a claimed total range of 745 miles on a full tank and full charge. Design-wise, the Omoda 7 looks very much like a slightly stretched version of the Omoda 5, but with additional LED lighting at the front, a more pronounced kick up of the window line towards the back at the side, and a longer rear overhang for a bigger boot. We'd expect the Omoda 7 to be priced just below the Jaecoo 7 that comes with the SHS (Super-Hybrid System) so a starting price of around £32,500. Both the new Jaecoo 5 and Omoda 7 will be in showrooms in August, but they'll be beaten by a new flagship Omoda model that wasn't at the Shanghai Motor Show. The Omoda 9 is already shown on Omoda's website with a starting price of £44,990 for a model that also uses the SHS plug-in hybrid system. Little else is known about the new car other than the price, its claim of 93 miles of EV range, its massive 660-litre boot capacity, 4.7 metre length and 700 mile-plus total range. It can be ordered now in a choice of five colours and is set to arrive before the other newcomers in June of this year.
